I’m eligible but haven’t had any info about when yet.

On our GP Surgery website “ Please don’t call reception to enquire or book an appointment for a vaccination , as the reception team will not be able to help”.

I got a new one when I called my GP surgery this morning (not vaccine related)
" Sorry we are only taken emergency calls today, call back Monday "
I would have thought people would be calling 999 if it was an emergency not their GP?

I was only eligible for flu but when I logged in I could say I was a carer and get covid as well. My wife genuinely qualifies as a carer for her mum and given I am there with my wife most of the time I figured I do as well

My worry though is that when I had covid I had a bout of vomiting which was unpleasant. The same happened when I had my last covid jab. I just hope it doesn’t again or I may need to consider if I have any future covid jags.

I'm not eligible for either, and I suspect my dad wouldn't be amused if I tried to claim to be his carer in order to get something to which I'm not otherwise entitled.

Having avoided Covid until June this year I might look at a booster jab

I didn't take my last Covid offer, 3 stabbings was quite enough for me. I've had covid once(summer 2022 when I had been triple stabbed)

I'm not allowed to have a flu jab for medical reasons.

I got the impression that it was only supposed to be one primary carer per vulnerable person but I could be wrong (and it may not be adequately checked if I’m not).
